IT'S DUFF AT THE TOP

FEELING BLUE?

Medics attended Rose for 19 minutes before managing to get him off the field

Rose’s injury came after Kevin Foley went during the warm-up, with Gael Bigirimana taking his spot.

The midfielder is understood to be on his way to hospital for a check-up.

This latest serious head injury follows Fernando Torres being rushed to hospital after being knocked out cold against Deportivo.

Team-mates Gabi and Sime Vrsaljko had to reach inside the Atletico striker’s mouth to stop him swallowing his tongue, with Depor’s club doctor Carlos Larino later praising the duo’s “perfect” reaction.

Torres’ manager and team-mates were left shaken by a scare that was frighteningly reminiscent of the clash that led to Hull midfielder Ryan Mason breaking his skull.

Immediately after the game, boss Diego Simeone said: “Torres is conscious, he has a head trauma. We are worried and very nervous after the scare.”
